After purchasing and enjoying the Line 6 M5; I'd love to see a revised version with a smaller enclosure and improved algorithms (polyphonic harmony/octave!). This seems unlikely to me so...
Do you reckon they might release a single pedal Helix? No modelling or anything, just MIDI controlled effects? I feel like there's a gap in the market for affordable multi-effects - only Zoom are still creating and updating products in this area and they're not MIDI controllable.
Thoughts? What would you like to see? Anyone from Line6 care to weight in if you're on here?

Whether they'll make the amp modelling available at a lower price point than the LT I'm not sure. At least there will be the plugin version for people who only want to use it/record at home
On the other hand, I've just bought a second M5 for my current board and I'd be annoyed if I didn't get some mileage from it before the Teeny Helix comes along and gives me GAS.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Lose one DSP and just have a single path (though that could have parallel sections still).
That sounds like it'd be quite simple to do from the Helix. I s'pose they could lock out the amp modelling in software.

I'd be happy with a simple UI and a PC editor.

So as a Senior Product Manager at Line 6, @Digital_Igloo, have we anything to look forward to...? And when's Helix native out??

Lots of things to look forward to. Helix Native is hopefully no more than a few weeks out—we're just squashing last minute bugs at this point. Testing in a dozen DAWs across a dozen versions of Mac OS and Windows is always a herculean effort and is rarely without its surprises.
